[Zell is officially the worst boyfriend ever if Jim is crying. He can't discern whether he's crying because Zell is trying to push him away, Zell sharing how much Jim means to him, or just everything stacking all up together. Whatever the reason, it hurts to see those tears and it jolts him out of the guilt long enough to wrap his arms around Jim to lift him up, and pull him into his lap. Sorry, he's not going to mind how much he invades Jim's space right now with others around.
Reaching up to brush his thumb against Jim's cheek as he leans in to press a kiss against the corner of Jim's eyes. Giving a smile as he thinks about what Jim said. That he wants a future with him too. A long one. He feels a wave of emotion wash over him as he gives him a tight hug.]
Then keep holding on to me. [Conceding. He can't worry about what he might do, especially with what he wants to do is right here in his arms. What he wants to do is stick by Jim's side. What wants to do is make sure Jim gets out of here alive in one piece. To go to Jim's world and meet his mom. To take Jim home to meet his own Ma. Just focus on all of that for now.]

Sorry, Jim. I won't leave or push you away.
